<a name="id-1.7.12.5"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
<span class="command"><strong>broadwayd</strong></span> is a display server for the Broadway
GDK backend. It allows multiple GTK+ applications to display their
windows in the same web browser, by connecting to broadwayd.
</p>
<p>
When using broadwayd, specify the display number to use, prefixed
with a colon, similar to X. The default display number is 0.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
broadwayd :5
</pre>
<p>
Then point your web browser at <code class="literal">http://127.0.0.1:8085</code>.
Start your applications like this:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
GDK_BACKEND=broadway BROADWAY_DISPLAY=:5 gtk3-demo
</pre>
<p>

You can add password protection for your session by creating a file in
<code class="filename">$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/broadway.passwd</code> or <code class="filename">$HOME/.config/broadway.passwd</code>
with a crypt(3) style password hash.

A simple way to generate it is with openssl:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
openssl passwd -1  &gt; ~/.config/broadway.passwd
</pre>
<p>
